Saluting Our Veterans: Heroes in Mental Health and Beyond at KidsTLC
At KidsTLC, we are incredibly grateful to have veterans among our team whose steadfast dedication to service profoundly shapes our organization. Veterans embody qualities that resonate deeply within our mission—resilience, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to helping others.
This Veterans Day, we proudly honor four exceptional individuals whose journeys from military service to mental and behavioral health have enriched our campus and the lives of children and families. Through their leadership and dedication, they continue to create safe spaces for healing and growth, inspire hope in our clients, and uplift our team. Their unique perspectives and skills remind us every day of the strength found in service, both in protecting communities and supporting young lives in their journey toward well-being.
